May go look at a boat for a buddy. If I help him get it ship shape then I'll have something to use this summer.

Short week this week.
Yee Haa

Sold my go-kart yesterday, little 6.5 hp that I could get 31 mph out of. I hadn't even pulled the governor yet.
Went down to the garage to get it together (gather up the spare tires/parts) that I have no use for.
I notice a little puddle of water on the floor right next to the new buggy.
About 4-5" diameter.
That's strange.
I look up, and my ceiling has what looks like a huge BOOB hanging down!!!!
I'm talking 16" diameter, and hanging down 12-14"!!!
PHUCK!!!
The wife came downstairs and moved the buggy outside, then pierced the "boob" with a pipe.
Phuckin' water everywhere!
She starts poking all the wet drywall, and tearing it out.
Well, the leak is the drain line from the upstairs chitter.
Now, I have wet insulation and drywall all over my garage.

Culprit = wax ring.

Wife runs to the hdw for 2 wax rings, and a new set of closet bolts.
Between the two of us, we yank the stool, replace wax rings, and re-set.
Less than $10.
But, now I've got a huge hole in the ceiling, everything wet, and a huge mess in the garage...

Oh no.

Wax rings are the nastiest material ever made......I'm remodeling a bath now....and while tiling I stuck my foot dead center of the wax ring and within 3 minutes it was on every surface of the house.....


Short day today...Laundry ....or the Beach ??????

Oh no.

Fortunately this is more of the "used beer" receptacle. Not really the morning business office.

Agreed.
They are a mess!
The toilet was caulked to the floor with clear silicone.
The silicone seal was better than the wax, so the water didn't show in the bathroom until it made a boob in the garage ceiling.
What a phuckin mess...

Some small consolation. Still sucks.

Yes it does.
But at least it didn't blow out on the new buggy.
Hopefully I can get the mess cleaned up tomorrow.
Let it dry out, and start patching next weekend...

Hi Ho's! Think I picked up a flu bug yesterday been sick all day. The only cool things was Hatteras 60 sport fishing and a 76 Nordhavn trawler that my Dad really liked. But its pricey: 2005 Nordhavn Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com

Everybody is sick down here, hospital sick...I wash my hands about ten times a day when greeting people, or handling money.
Good day today, poured about 16 yards of concrete, then finished a block job in Cudjoe. Aout $10K right there, keep in mind we pay about $300 a yard with the pump.






Then instead of doing Laundry...I went to the beach ...it was nasty..but the tunes were good...don't know if you can see this jellyfish floating past.

If you have a tile floor I would suggest grouting and sealing the terlet to the floor instead of caulk.

And out of those....250 were worth reading !

Offcourse on a long weekend I get sick. Next year I'm going to the Miami show and avoiding being in public so don't get sick.

[Bobcat]

[fund razor]

No, you wouldn't want that.
